I also hate 99% of grafittis because most are just a big autofellatio, wasting even more space than tags but equally pointless. I don't give a shit what's your stupid nickname, draw/write something cool you idiot.

    tagging names is beautiful and it is art. It is especially an art style native to big cities and urban communities and totally precious to me.

    Edit: like, I dont know how to explain this without being super hippie about it but, when i am in a space where the identity of the people who live there are completely sanitized, to see grafitti, a tag, a little message, w/e its like a beacon. Even something as simple as a name makes me want to cheer and say: yes! You live here! This space is yours too! Like, putting a name to a face.

      I feel the same way, though I only lived in a place with a lot of graffiti for a couple years. There was this one area where people would just go absolutely wild and it was a great place to hang out because there was new names/pictures every week.
